SUTRA 12 YOUTH-UC ll 92 11 Pratyaksa manyat (12) The remaining three types of knowledge are per. ceived directly (without external help). (12)
- Knowledge we gain through clairvoyance and telepathy
(avadhi), - knowledge we receive through direct mental perception
(manah-paryaya) and - omniscience (kevala jnana) are direct knowledge.
These three types of knowledge manifest automatically and immediately in our consciousness as soon as the karma that blocked its access is partially or fully dissolved. We instantly become aware of the newly accessible range of knowledge. We need no external factor to alert us to this expansion of our ability to gain insight.
SUTRA 13 मतिः स्मृतिः संज्ञा चिन्ताभिनिबोध इत्यनान्तरम् ॥ १३॥ Matih smrtih sajna cinta abhinibodha ityanarthantaram (13)
- Recollection (of something known before, but pres
ently not in contact with our senses) (smrtih) - recognition (of an object known before, when the object itself or something similar or markedly dissimilar is presented to our senses) (sanjna)
